General Manager
Wendy’s (DBA Saren Restauarants Inc.) | Full-Time | 50 hrs/week
Lead the Business. Build Leaders. Drive Results. Saren Restaurants is an award-winning, family-owned Wendy’s franchise organization looking for a proven General Manager who thinks like an operator.
This role is for leaders who:
- Own results end-to-end
- Think strategically, not reactively
- Develop people while driving performance
- Know how to run a business, not just a shift
If you’ve successfully led a QSR operation and are ready for real autonomy, real expectations, and real upside, we should talk.
What You Get
Compensation & Benefits
We pay for results - and we’re transparent about it.
- Competitive base salary: $62,000 – $70,000
- Monthly performance bonus up to $1,000 (based on controllable results)
- Total annual compensation potential: $74,000 – $82,000+
- Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & Rx insurance (eligible after 30 days)
- Retirement plan with company match
- Paid vacation and sick time
- Thanksgiving & Christmas OFF and PAID
- Free meals every shift
- Recognition programs, incentives, and performance contests
This role is designed for operators who want ownership, accountability, and upside - not micromanagement.
The Role: Full Ownership of the Business
As General Manager, everything inside the four walls is yours to lead - people, performance, culture, and results.
You will:
- Build, coach, and develop a high-performing leadership and crew team
- Set expectations, hold accountability, and elevate talent
- Execute Wendy’s operating systems with discipline and consistency
- Drive sales through operational excellence and team engagement
- Own controllable costs and profitability
- Analyze and manage the restaurant’s P&L
- Ensure full compliance with food safety, labor, and legal standards
- Create a culture where guests return and employees grow
This is not a role where success is handed to you - you create it.

Required:
- 3+ years as a General Manager (or equivalent) in QSR or fast-paced restaurant environment

- Experience reading and managing a P&L
- ServSafe certification (or ability to obtain quickly)
- Open availability, including weekends and holidays
- Reliable transportation
- Authorized to work in the U.S.
- Ability to pass a background check
You should be comfortable:
- Making decisions independently

- Working in a performance-driven environment
Who Thrives Here

- Think ahead instead of reacting
